The rod of the propelleris actuated by a spring, and the propeller may be easily detached from the said cross-bar by merely reA moving' the same from the eyelets ci', in which it is mounted.

The balls having been arranged on the summits of each ofthe vertical suspended rods a, the player endeavors to so drive a ball, j', from the propeller as to strike the rod No. 1, and so on to the highest numbered rod.
